Free Music Notes for Mozart - Requiem / Aug?r, Bartoli, Cole, Pape, Wiener Phil., SoltiFree Music Review: Better than Bernstein Hit: 5 StarsGood buy. This Requiem version is wonderful and uplifting. Bought Leonard Bernstein's version some years ago. It moves so slowly and seems full of unrelenting angst--sounds more like Wagner than Mozart. If you like the music of Mozart's Requiem, this version is much more friendly.
Free Music Review: Requiem @ St. Stephens Cathedral Hit: 5 StarsThe best of the Requiem with good sound quality, cathedral and religious effects. Listening to the whole CD is an experience by itself. A bonus if one favors Latin mass.
Free Music Review: Awesome Hit: 5 StarsListen to Mozart's requiem during a live performance and an actual mass.
Quite a treat.
Free Music Review: Heavenly Music Hit: 5 StarsI highly recommend this CD to all Mozart lovers and to all who appreciate classical, religious music. Masterfully performed under the direction of Sir Georg Solti.
Free Music Review: Best recording of Mozart's Requiem Hit: 5 StarsNear the end of Solti's illustrious career, I believe that Solti had developed an unparalleled understanding of Mozart's music that allowed him to bring musical and dramatic perfection to his works. While Solti's earlier recordings show a conductor who heavy handedly conducted Mozart as if it were Wagner, the later recordings (especially those after the births of his daughter Claudia and Gabrielle) sound more tamed, more musical, more religious. Solti was famous for his innate sense of rhythm, and not only does his music come to perfection (it does, but unlike Karajan, his music is full of life), but it also allows the meaning of the score to jump out of the page and affect the listeners. This, I can say about his Mozart requiem. I find that the recording is very heartfelt and dramatic where needed. The soloists, as expected of the standard that Solti would choose, are excellent. The chorus, orchestra, and conductor all come together to make a great enterprise such as this work, and for Mozart, Solti does work.
